Intel NUC 11 i5-1135G7 Performance $450 barebones
Not a deal so much as in stock notice if anyone has been waiting for one. BH seems the cheapest.
Barebones, the ones with pre-installed ram or SSDs are way overpriced.

I realize GPUs are hard to get. But with some patience, you can get an enclosure (eGPU) + for a decent price, either used or via Amazon Warehouse sale for ~ $200. Add any GPU of your choice, and pair it with this tiny box via Thunderbolt, and you have a very tiny, flexible computer than can manage some decent games.
I'm using an eGPU with my i3 NUC8 and you're right it's an awesome little game machine. I think TB3 gimps my 3060 Ti though. I think I'd get this if it was TB4.
My 10th gen i5 GPU isn't able to keep with the frame rates to even usable level

It will play it. Not maxed out. Prob 720p at 30fps locked. BOTW is very demanding and you can mess with a lot of the graphical settings in CEMU.
Shoot, I could play at 540p at 25fps on my i5 8350u 😂

Wrong Vega 😂

Iris Xe can bench higher and get higher fps in games and emulators, becuase of the higher boost speed… BUT, intel throttle a bunch because they can't maintain the boost because of all the heat.
Ryzen chips don't boost as high and can stay cooler when gaming because they are physically smaller, even with double the cores. Ryzen video drivers are better though and Gaming with Intel Iris Xe can have glitches.
I'd go Ryzen if there was a choice between chips.

If yours is the slower 620 it might be triple.
Here's a comparison:
Firestrike demo
NUC 8 i3 = 1745 (Iris Plus 655)
NUC 11 i5 = 3744 (Iris Xe)
I also tried a couple games and framerate seems about double in most games.
I also tried Firestrike with my Amp Box eGPU 3060Ti
NUC 8 i3 = 10727
NUC 11 i5 = 15957
I'd guess that's due to the faster CPU. Ram is also 3200 vs 2400.
Note: Reviews say the NUC 11 comes with a wireless charging lid - this one did not. BH product image shows the lid, but since the model number is the same as the one I got from Newegg, the photo is probably a mistake.

I might just return the expensive GSkill ram and use the GSkill DDR4 2400 that I was using on the NUC 8. At least that runs properly at CAS 16.
The NUC 8 i3 barebones goes for about $200 used on Ebay so I'm going to sell it.

2400 ram should run fine in the 11 and speed difference is probably a few %.
